The buzz: Phoenix big man Brown receives local, national media attention

As the Phoenix men’s basketball team kicks off its season with tonight’s exhibition game versus St. Norbert, buzz continues to build around Alec Brown, the 7’1” junior who is capturing local and national media attention. Brown, who was All-Horizon League last year and is preseason all-league for this season, could be an NBA prospect, the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported today (Wednesday, Oct. 31). Also recently, he’s named one of the nation’s top-50 big men by CBSSports.com, and has been noted in other CBS coverage, along with a report from ESPN.com (which called Brown “the focal point of every opponent’s scouting report”). You can catch Brown in action tonight at 7 p.m. at the Kress Center. The Press-Gazette story and a roundup of his accolades are available here:
